[Verse 1]
New to town with a made up name
In the angel's city, chasing fortune and fame
The camera flashin' make it look like a dream
You had it figured out since you were in school
Everybody loves pretty, everybody loves cool
And overnight, you look like a sixties queen
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Another name goes up in lights
Like diamonds in the sky
[Chorus 1]
Yeah, they’ll tell you now, you’re the lucky one
Yeah, they’ll tell you now, you’re the lucky one
Can you tell me now, you’re the lucky one?
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh-whoa, oh
[Verse 2]
Now, it’s big black cars and Riviera views
And your lover in the foyer doesn’t even know you
And your secrets end up splashed on the news front page
And they tell you that you’re lucky, but you’re so confused
'Cause you don’t feel pretty, you just feel used
And all the young things line up to take your place
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Another name goes up in lights
You wonder if you’ll make it out alive
[Chorus 1]
Yeah, they’ll tell you now, you’re the lucky one
Yeah, they’ll tell you now, you’re the lucky one
Can you tell me now, you’re the lucky one?
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh-whoa, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh-whoa
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
It was a few years later, you showed up here
And they still tell the legend, how you disappeared
You took your money and your dignity, and got the hell out
They say you bought a bunch of land somewhere
Chose the rose garden over Madison Square
It took some time, but I understand it now
[Chorus 2]
Let me tell you now, you’re the lucky one
Let me tell you now, you’re the lucky one
Let me tell you now, you’re the lucky one, oh, oh, oh
Yeah, they’ll tell you now, you’re the lucky one
Yeah, they’ll tell you now, you’re the lucky one
Yeah, I’ll tell you now, you’re the lucky one, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh-whoa, oh
